    Should we sell our 2012 RAV4EV, almost 90k miles ?

    We have had our RAV4 EV vin#1270 since moving to CA in 2013. Owned since new, bought from Dianne at Carson Toyota. We have never had any of the problems I've heard about on this forum besides the Check Engine light once which turned out to be a bad 12V battery. We love this car, but are deciding...

    Still going?

    I'm still driving my 2012 (#1270). 80K miles that I've owned since new. Bought the car from Dianne (Carson Toyota) when she was doing deals for everyone. Never had any major work done on it. I wasn't on the forum for years so I missed the time period when everyone was buying extended warranties...

    Hi Guys, My car is vin# 1270 in Santa Monica. I've had 3 troublefree years and 30k miles on the car until today when I went in my garage and the car was totally dead. It definitely behaves like the 12v is dead as the interior lights are flickering and the dash is barely lit. I tried to jump it...

    Member Introduction

    I'm Andrew, 38, married, two kids (4 and 2) living in Santa Monica having just moved here from NYC. We didn't really drive during the week in NY and decided to purchase an EV once we worked out that you need a second car in LA. If you live and work in Manhattan, your car use is much different...

    $17,500 off by 1 Dec 2014, Production Ended August 2014

    Bought a blue RAV4 EV after much lurking and learning on this site. Thanks everyone for your knowledge on charging options, utility charges, entune issues, etc. Dianne at Carson was great to deal with and offered 48k + tax + title, etc. I didn't really bother haggling down anymore from there...

    Hi everyone. I'm totally new to EVs and considering buying the RAV4 this week prior to the deal expiration. This forum has been really helpful in understanding all the logistics around charging and the issues with the scheduling. This will be our first EV. We went to Toyota of Santa Monica...
